Alli set Harry Kane up for his second goal of the game at White Hart Lane as Spurs beat Bournemouth 3-0.

The youngster is in his first season in the top flight after joining from MK Dons, and has deservedly been called into the England squad.

His assist against the Cherries was his ninth in the Premier League - more than Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez have combined.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Manchester United's Juan Mata also have made contributions which pale in significance to Alli's, and you can combine and two of the four players, and they still fall short of Alli.
